To Create a PC3 File for a Windows System Printer

1. Click Application menu Print Manage Plotters.
2. In the Autodesk Plotter Manager, double-click the Add-a-Plotter Wizard shortcut icon.
3. In the Add-a-Plotter wizard, read the Introduction, and then click Next to advance to the Add Plotter - Begin page.
4. On the Add Plotter - Begin page, click System Printer. Click Next.
5. On the Add Plotter - System Printer page, select the system printer that you want to configure.

   The list includes all printers known to the operating system. If you want to connect to a printer that is not in the list, you must first add the printer to the operating system.

   (Optional) The Import PCP or PC2 screen enables you to use configuration information from a PCP or PC2 file created with an earlier release of the program.

6. On the Add Plotter - Plotter Name page, enter a name to identify the currently configured plotter. Click Next.
7. When you reach the Add Plotter - Finish page, you can click Finish to exit the Add-a-Plotter wizard.

   A PC3 file for the newly configured plotter appears in the Plotters window and the plotter is available for plotting in the list of devices.

   At this time, you can change the default settings for the plotter by clicking Edit Plotter Configuration on the Add Plotter - Finish page. You can also perform a plot calibration test on your newly configured plotter by clicking Calibrate Plotter on the Add Plotter - Finish page.
